ENVIRONMENT: meaning and examples

Good morning. 

Today's word is: Environment

Meaning 1: the conditions that affect the behaviour and development of someone or something; the physical conditions that someone or something exists in.

Example 1:
Ziggurat teachers try to create a pleasant learning environment so that students will not only learn, but also enjoy themselves in the process.

Example 2:
Over the last several months the economic environment has been quite negative.

Meaning 2: the natural world in which people, animals and plants live.

Example 3:
Pollution is causing a lot of damage to the environment.

In the right context, both yesterday's word (atmosphere) and environment can be translated to Spanish as ambiente; but as you can see they are not exactly the same.

If you have any questions about today's Daily Vitamin, please post them in the Daily Vitamin Plus! forum section on our website (www.ziggurat.es).

I hope you have a nice day.
